    Food was great. Service even better. Only issue was excessive noise and chill every time the door opened for the brand to bring in equipment.

    The update looks beautiful, the workers are lovely as always, the new menu is disappointing at best. Not sure we will go back any time soon, which is unfortunate because this has been our favorite restaurant for years.

    Food was very good. Server was attentive but lacked personality. Good vibe but very noisy even before the 2 man band. We love this place though. You won’t be disappointed.
